Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
I believe it was stated that this was because of their license, which only covered the LotR books (and not the movies). So they could include book-only characters like Tom Bombadil , but not anything movie-specific. Doctor Who is primarily a TV show, so they presumably were able to license the like...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Looking at the Doctor Who cards, I am now wondering why Wizards had to make their own version of LotR characters but used TV appearance of all the Dr Who characters.

Re: Rank The One Drops For Human Tribal
What happened to Doomed Traveler and Thraben Inspector being good Human [sym=w] drops? :rofl: But seriously, I agree with ISBPathfinder's ranking. I'd only add that personally I wouldn't play Serra Ascendant without Lifegain being a theme of the deck. Yeah it is a great 1 drop in the early game, but...

Re: The One Ring
I have no idea why they print %$#%$#% like this. Money, what other reason Hasbro has to print so many sets :rofl: MtG always had power creep but I suppose it was less noticeable before when the sets came in slower. I didn't think this would spark a discussion about being banned, but I am curious wh...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
Sure. I just prefer less busy, more understated art in general, but especially when it comes to Magic cards. I dislike foils and all this digital art. Give me more Legends Nicol Bolas and less Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh. Imagine how cool it would be if they did a proper "retro" set, where a...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
I agree with TheGildedGoose. Personally I quite enjoy the style and am sad that they haven't done it for more Legends in the set. To play devil's advocate though, I think this style comes off as less effort because we have been getting so many really fancy frames that this looks too simple in compar...

Re: Archangel Avacyn - Boros Voltron
Set Review [br] Commander Masters There is not much to talk about in this set. The main set is all reprints and I've listed a few that are either reprints of cards in the deck, or could be in the deck. Though there are more reprints that are good for Boros decks. From the new cards in the commander...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
So I've just discovered that Commander Masters draft booster is featuring new Avacyn art, and I am wondering if anyone has seen it on a card spoiler somewhere? I know it won't be the first time that Wizards had cool art on the promotional material and not on the cards, but here is hoping :) the boos...

Re: Archangel Avacyn - Boros Voltron
What do you think about Taunt from the Rampart , I tought of your deck when I first saw it, it clears blockers, deals a bunch of damage hopefully and in some scenarios will be "time walky" To be perfectly honest, I tend to skim over sorceries and instances if they don't draw cards because...

Re: Archangel Avacyn - Boros Voltron
Set Review [br] Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth This set presented me with a dilemma, mainly concerning The Ring Tempts You mechanic. It is flavourful for the set that it is presented in, but I struggle to justify using it in this deck. This is a themed deck and I want to consider cards no...

Re: [Deck Tech] Help me Improve My Commander Deck!
TheAmericanSpirit Thanks for the suggestion but not looking to change the commander. I'll keep Rielle in mind though because she sure looks like a spell-slinging-Voltron. I can see that the general approach of other players using Eruth, Tormented Prophet is to completely disregard your hand... It i...

The other six Asura Angels?
While looking up lore for Jenara, Asura of War , I saw on the MTG wiki that she is one of seven Asura, but quick search through the wiki didn't offer anything about the other six Angels. So far I've only found lore about Asha. I am not familiar with lore pre-Shadows Over Innistrad, so curious if the...

Re: [Deck Tech] Help me Improve My Commander Deck!
Hi, looking for some help with an Eruth spell slinging deck [sym=r][sym=u]. I've originally built it as a budget deck ($25 challenge with friends) and it turned out to be a lot of fun to play, so I've tried to upgrade it but struggling to find a wincon. My main playstyle is Voltron, I have little ex...

Re: Mogis, God of Slaughter
Interesting to see how your deck developed. I've been thinking about Magic myself for some type because I really like his card art and concept. Though I am leaning more towards maximising the damage output and have the deck focus around dealing more and more damage to everyone each turn. I am curiou...

Re: How much tutoring is too much?
I am starting to think you could graph the use of tutors on a curve that goes up and then down, like when you start playing you think they are great so you add more and more, till you realize it's more fun to play without them so you play less and less :rofl: Seems to be the natural progression of m...

Re: Goad: how annoying is it?
I will say I find Goad a *lot* less annoying than Grave Pact .dec or Wrath of God .dec or god forbid Control Magic .dec. So true! Goad is like so low on the list of annoying mechanics. Do people find Odric, Master Tactician to be as annoying as goad? It forces the opponent to block how you want the...

Re: How much tutoring is too much?
So you'll probably end up playing the same cards most of the time. So you might not have linear wincon, but you will still have some repetitiveness in gameplay. Fair point. I can't say for sure if it'll bother me, but at this time I want to say not because the deck is already very limited on intera...

Re: Goad: how annoying is it?
My best experience playing against goad was with the already mentioned Thantis, the Warweaver . It is not goad exactly, but it forces everyone to attack, and at least it gives players the option to attack you, which then benefits you. Which I think is better than goad, because people will go out of ...

Finally been able to catch up with the replies. Thanks for the input everyone.
